I've got scratches that shouldn't be there on the screen of my Moto G, it's one of my gripes about it. The screen feels very plasticy and it seems to have picked them up from being in my pocket with my work phone (iPhone 5s). Needless to say there are no small scratches on the iPhone screen, because it is not made of cheese.
Also no scratches on my 1.5 yo Motorola G 4G (version before yours I think?)
I guess they cut more corners to get the bigger screen etc and keep the price low

I just read this about the 5X which doesn't seem very encouraging:

Everyone at Google is getting one for Christmas so maybe that means it will get sorted (sounds like a software thing to me).
